A couple of years ago I geeked out on WWII US Navy peacoats. I wanted one really badly and not just any coat, one as like-new as possible. So after scouring eBay daily for an entire winter, I ended up with a few just-about-perfect coats. I'm anal "detail-oriented", so for each promising listing I sent a set of detailed questions. I even sent some coats back because the condition didn't match the answers.
However all ended up being a little big for me and they should be worn by someone!
Vintage WWII US Navy Peacoat
Size 34-46
Cotton lining
Measurements:
Chest (pit-to-pit): 18.5"
Shoulders (seam-to-seam across back): 18"
Length (base of collar to hem): 30.5"
Sleeve (shoulder to cuff): 24.5"
Sleeve (center back to cuff): 34.5"
Condition:
Excellent with extremely light wear. As in near-mint/almost new. Kersey wool shell is in fantastic shape - no moth damage, no holes, no stains, it looks essentially new - original name tag in chest is blank! Lining is in excellent shape, no holes or stains. Cotton lining is older, probably pre-to-early WWII. Original size tag in neck is missing. All buttons and the neck strap are present. Corduroy pockets are fantastic - once you feel them, you will want corduroy pockets in everything!
$229$295, CONUS Priority Mail shipping included. Please PM me for international shipping quote. PayPal only, please.
